A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.

Elijah Parr of WalIingford Pierced
Through the Heart by a Pistol Ball
The Purchase of the Pistol and the
Taking of Life deliberately Planned
"A Lsve Affair Said to be the Cause.
The New Haven House was the scene of a
very deliberate suicide sometime Saturday.
Friday afternoon young man apparently
not over thirty years of age registered at the
house as Elijah Parr, Wallingford, and was
at once assigned to a room. He acted some
what peculiarly. The clerk forgot all about
his guest until Saturday afternoon, when
chambermaid reported that she could not
gain access to PARIS room. An investigation
was at once begun, and hall boy and lad
der were at once pressed into service. The
lad looked through the transom and beheld
horrible sight. On the bed lay Parr and by
his side was revolver. He was cold in
death, and his chest on the left side was,
covered with clotted blood. Coroner Mix
was summoned and the door of the room was
opened by locksmith. 1t was found that
the suicide had been deliberately planned.
The body was rigid and bore the appearance
of having been dead several hours. Parr
bought pistol of J. J. Dinnan of Orange
street on Friday afternoon, and it was the
same one with which the deed was done. A
strange feature of the case was that not a
person in the hotel heard the report of the
revolver, although the weapon must necessa-
rily have made loud report. The deceased
was an employe of the Wallingford wheel
shop. Fl. D. Hendrick and William Parr,
the young mans brother, arrived here late
Saturday evening. 1t was generally regarded
in Wallingford that Parr was insane, made
30 through love affair. For some time
back he had been keeping company with
New Haven lady, and a month or two
ago the lady for some reason unknown sud
denly rejected his company and forbade him
her house This seemed to have depress-
ing effect upon him, and ever since he has
acted strangely. AS far known he has
made no advances to her unless he made
them Friday afternoon.
Parr was about twenty eight or thirty
years of age and was nephew of S. N. Ed
monds, the station agent at Wallingford.
He was model employee at the wheel shop
and was a peaceable young man, industrious
and temperate.
The body was removed to Wallingford last
evening on the 6:26 train.

No external remedy ever yet devised has
so fully and unquestionahly met these three
prime conditions as successfully as Allceck' IS
Porous Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because nothing
goes into them except ingredients which are
exactly adapted to the purpose for which a
plaster is required. They are speedy in their
action because their medicinal qualities go
right to their work of relieving pain and re-
storing the natural and healthy perform
ance of the functions of muscles, nerves and

Yesterday forenoon, when the Red Bluff
passenger train was coming into the city, a
little child, . or 8 years old, son of Phil
Douglas, who resides in the vicinity of
Eleventh and D streets, had wandered
away from home, reached the railroad
track near the cannery and seated himself
in the sand at the end of one of the ties of
the track, between the main track and
siding, and was having lots of fun
turning the sand over. He was bare
headed, and Barney Kelly, the en-
gineer of the train, seeing something
almost on the track, thought it was
dog. A few seconds later he saw it was
child, and instantaneously applied the air.

his engine and used steam 10 the fullest

little one that it could not be stopped in
time. Billy Wiley, the express messen-

when the brakes were applied, looked out
TO ascertain what the trouble was, saw the
child, and jumping out of the car as the
train slowed down, ran ahead of the engine
and snatched the yOungster up, as the pilot
in passing struck its clothing, thus doubt

transferred to a Higher Court.

Not many days ago colored lady, Mrs.
Me'oyer, was arrested on charge of dis
turbing the peace, The name used being
Mrs. Vassals," by which she was most
generally known, she and her former hus-
band, who died several years ago, having
been old residents. The case did not
amount to much, as it grew out of the fact
that the children of neighbor, occupying
adjoining premises, had built fire in a
little stove SO near to Mrs. Metoyer's fence
or building that she feared damage, and
she put an end to their play rather Qncere-
moniously, and in manner that was con-
sidered a disturbance of the peace. In
speaking of the matter subsequently, she
said that while playing in the same man
ner on previous occasion, the children
had set fire to her property. She gave
bonds for her appearance in Court when
the case should come up. but the excite
ment and worry growing out of the matter
made her sick, and the sickness resulted
fatally Thursday night. Yesterday in the
Police Court the case was stricken from
the calendar.
